For the Spirit of jefferson
How People Get at Objects.

The heading of this article outlines
reflections which result from consid-
ering what is TRANSPORTING at the Cap
ital of West Virginia. The Dem
ocratic party of this State is handi-
capped, so to speak, by gigantic mo-
nopolies; the leader of one of these
monopolies has reached the time for
q renewal of his election rs Senator
in Congress, and has secured nearly
enough of our Legislature to re-elcct
him. The wisdom of doing so is
doubted by what is termed anti-mn-
nopolists in the party; and they have
some thirteen representatives in the
Legislature, and might have had
more if Interior questions had not
controlled leaders of the peoples
Democracy. For example our junior
Senator from this district wa, taken

creed, and might have been opposed
to the whiskey ring of the party; so
the anti-monopolist' sacrifice an anti
Camden vote to secure whiskcy
vote against submission. The ant =
Camden voters of Jefferson, who
elected Howard Gcttinger to Il
State Senate, will not b, able to d =
rounce that gentleman for deception.
for he made no pledges and they
took him for what he might make;
but it is q lesson for voters to re-
member, not to listen to county chiefs
in campaign harness. Two years
hence the whiskey question will sure
ly be a prominent question, and so
will the working mems interest.
Millionaire aristocracy in the Dem
ocratic party will bc relcgatcl to the
rear, and men will he taken for what
they are kno1cn to he and who hav,
no political concca!ment; then will
honest men not he snuhhed by their
